Motte and Bailey Castle

Motte and Bailey Castle

What you see is one of the first medieval castles, I bricked it because the history of fortifications is one of my passions, in my opion it could be a great LEGO AFOL historical set because it is a novelty and because everyone who already has a Lego Viking Village or a Lego Viking Ship can expand the theme.

We have a reinforced palisade with an embankment and a moat around it, the fortification is divided between a low cortyard wher we find the great hall (the roof can be removed for easy access inside), with fireplace and confort, the stable for the horse and the forge.

Then you go up towards the artificial hill and you arrive at the keep (high courtyard), the last stronghold in case of siege, where we have a warehouse, the sovereign's bedroom and the lookout (the tower can be dismantled to access all floors easily).

The keep and the entrance tower are made of stone to better resist fire.

As characters we find: archers, royal guards (yellow and green shields), huscarls (white and blue shields), and the warrior princess (red and blue shield).

(all buildings can be removed).

I hope you like it, Thanks to everyone who will support it.
